Well, if you want to know why Asuna and Alice don't exactly hit it off to start with...

Spoiler for Alicization web edition:

...their first meeting consists of Alice coming out of nowhere trying to chop Asuna up, demanding to know who she is and why she's getting so close to Kirito. Fortunately Asuna's reflexes and sword skills are equal to the challenge, as is her response:

"Why, you ask...? Because he's mine."

Asuna rules... on first impression, she seems meek, but in truth, she is Asuna the Flash, or even cooler, the Berserk Healer

I can't help imagine how she would react if he were to shift his sight towards a sexy bimbo (which might have happened in the US), or if she found a porn mag in his room

Actually, I was talking about something else, but let's wait till Flere821 gets to that part.

As a side note, is there an actual scientific basis for the claim made that if a copy of you, identical in every way, suddenly appeared before you, you would react violently and try to kill each other?

I think it's more to the extent, that the fluctlights can't handle the reality of not being the original.
I suppose many people would feel it daunting that they aren't who they thought they were... Like how people may react when they find out they're adopted.

The only reason I can imagine though, that a fluctlight would collapse from this realization, is that they are rather delicate, and unstable... We've seen that, given that they seem to freeze up and break down at the sign of some radical change...

Atleast we know that their inability to break rules guarantees we won't be over-thrown by them...

My favourite character happens to be Klein actually with the observer being a close second. I hope we get to see more of him.

Yeah me too.
Was the observer the one who pulled on Kirito's hair to make him notice that person watching them? Who is that person who was watching them? If I recall correctly didn't that person also appear when Alice broke the Taboo Index?

Spoiler for Observer:

The observer was a spider familiar named Charlotte, made by Cardinal. It ended up going the path of Yui, a limited AI gaining what might be called a fully-fledged soul/mind and went beyond its programmed parameters. After Charlotte was released from its duties after Kirito and Eugeo made it to Cardinal, she kept going with Kirito despite no orders to do so. When Administrator was about to kill Alice, Eugeo and Kirito she sacrificed herself in a "You Shall Not Pass" moment, buying time for Eugeo to summon Cardinal.

And no, the observer didn't show up when Alice broke the Taboo Index and lost her right eye.

For the second part I meant the person who appears in a circular like window that is neither young or old. At least thats how they describe this person in the LN.

Spoiler for That person:

It is when Kirito tells Eugeo to not let Teiza hear what that person is saying and both cover Teiza and Ronie (after Kirito kills Rainos.) I was wondering who that person is.
